Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, whether he has received (a) representations or (b) reports on an increase in discrimination against non-UK EU nationals in respect of access to housing on account of the lack of legal certainty as to the future status of EU citizens in the UK; and if he will make a statement.

My Department has not received any representations or reports raising concerns about discriminations against EU nationals in respect of access to housing.

Our policy paper, “Safeguarding the position of EU citizens in the UK and UK nationals living in the EU” published on 26 June, sets out the UK’s fair and serious offer to protect the rights of EU citizens living in the UK. This includes access to social housing for EU nationals.
